Vue en surplomb depuis la forêt du plateau de Roue. Ce fort médiéval du XIIème siècle, est communément appelé "Château Queyras". Sous l'Ancien Régime, il était rattaché à la province du Dauphiné et appartenait au dauphin du roi de France. Caractérisé par une enceinte quadrangulaire, il domine la vallée du Guil depuis le sommet de la butte de château-Queyras d'une hauteur de 1400 mètres. Il est inscrit, avec le piton rocheux sur lequel il s'élève, aux monuments et sites naturels des Hautes-Alpes depuis 1937 et son enceinte, au Monuments Historiques depuis 1948. Il fait partie du réseau "Sentinelles des Alpes" crée par l'association" Grande Traversée des Alpes" qui regroupe les fortifications les plus remarquables, notamment les citadelles de Mont-Dauphin et de Briançon. Petite anecdote : il a servi de décor au film "Le Bossu" d'après le roman de Paul Féval, tourné par Philippe de Broca en 1997.
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool). The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning 'pool.
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault. About 50 kilometres (30 miles) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 km (9 mi) long and an average of about 2 km (1 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne. Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston, South Carolina, notable for two battles of the American Civil War.
Fort Mason, once known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California, is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay.
Kongsten Fort is situated 500 metres east of The Old Town.
The fortress was constructed according to the ancient Italian principles of fortification, with high bastions, hornworks, and redans that would provide protection from invading armies. Military strategists understood that, if captured, the small hill would provide an enemy with a raised platform for their artillery, greatly increasing the range of canon shot.

Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.
Le Semperoper ou Sächsische Staatsoper sur la Theaterplatz à Dresde (Dresden), Land de Saxe, Allemagne.
Cet opéra réalisé par Gottfried Semper brûla en 1869. L'actuel fut construit entre 1871 et 1878 par Manfred Semper sur les plans conçus par son père, l’architecte du premier opéra. Cet édifice emprunte ses formes à la Renaissance italienne. La façade en arc de cercle est constituée de trois étages dont le supérieur est en retrait. Des niches creusées dans les retours latéraux de la façade abritent les statues de Shakespeare et Sophocle, de Molière et d'Euripide.
Joyau baroque blotti le long des berges du fleuve d’Elbe, Dresde (Dresden), capitale de la Saxe, également nommée la « Florence de l’Elbe » pour sa riche collection d'oeuvres d'art et classée en 2004 (mais retirée en 2009 à cause de la construction d'un pont) au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, est une cité monumentale où s’ordonnent avec grâce escaliers d’apparats, terrasses panoramiques et vastes places décorées de statues de saints et de monarques aux allures solennelles. La ville doit au duc Albert et à ses descendants qui en firent leur lieu de résidence à partir de 1485, d’être devenue l’une des plus belles villes d’Allemagne. Elle connut sa principale période de croissance au début du 18e siècle sous le règne d’Auguste le Fort, et nombre de ses monuments historiques datent de cette époque.
Presque entièrement rasée à la veille de la chute du Reich en 1945, Dresde vit une véritable renaissance : restaurations exemplaires des principaux monuments, réhabilitations réussies des édifices hérités de l’ex-RDA, centre historique rendu aux piétons…
Le fort Liédot — d'abord nommé fort de la Sommité, car construit sur le terrain le plus élevé de l'île (9 m d'altitude) est une fortification située au nord-est de l'île d'Aix dans le département de la Charente-Maritime. Initialement à visée défensive à la demande de Napoléon Ier, il a rempli tour à tour bien d'autres fonctions : lieu de détention, cible d'expériences de tir, puis colonie de vacances de l'Armée. Destination prisée des randonneurs et des cyclistes, il est aujourd'hui ouvert aux visites guidées.

Rohtas Fort is a historical garrison fort located near the city of Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. It was built under Afghan king Sher Shah Suri, to subdue the rebellious tribes of the northern Punjab region, in the 16th century. This fort is about 4 km in circumference. The Rohtas fort was built to crush the local Ghakhar tribes of Potohar, who rebelled against the Sur dynasty after the Mughal emperor Humayun was ousted by the former.
It took eight years to build the fort, it was captured by Mughal emperor Humayun in 1555. Nadir Shah, the Turkic ruler of Persia, Afghan ruler Ahmed Shah Abdali and the Maratha army also camped here during their respective campaigns in the Punjab region. Rohtas was also occasionally used for administrative purposes by the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh after he captured it in 1825.
The Fort was commissioned by Afghan king, Sher Shah Suri, the fort was constructed to block Humayun's return to India, who was living in exile in Persia after his defeat in the Battle of Kanauj. The fort lies on the historic GT road between the mountainous region of Afghanistan and the plains of Punjab. The reason of its construction was to suppress the local tribes of the Potohar region, these local tribes were subservient to the Mughal Empire but they refused their allegiance to Sher Shah Suri. Sher Shah ordered to construct the fort to crush the local rebel tribes. It was captured by Mughal emperor Humayun in 1555
The Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, is an historic Mughal fort located in the Old Delhi area of Delhi, India. It served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan on the 12th of May 1639, the fort was constructed following his decision to shift the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally adorned in red and white, the fort's design is attributed to Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the architect of the Taj Mahal. The Red Fort is a prominent example of Mughal architecture from Shah Jahan's reign, combining Persian and Indian architectural styles.
During the invasion by Nadir Shah of the Afsharid Empire in 1739, the fort was plundered and stripped of its artwork and jewels. Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, many of its marble structures were demolished by the British, although the defensive walls remained largely intact. The fort was later repurposed as a military garrison.
On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the Indian flag above the Lahori Gate, the main entrance of the Red Fort. Since then, the Prime Minister of India has ceremonially raised the national tricolour at the main gate each year on Independence Day, then delivering a nationally broadcast address from its ramparts.
The Red Fort, as part of the Red Fort Complex, was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
Fort Jefferson is located in Dry Tortugas National Park. This park is a cluster of seven small islands located 70 miles off the coast of Key West Florida. They were originally named "Las Tortugas (The Turtles) by Ponce de Leon for the abundance of sea turtles that once inhabited the area. The "Dry" was added later due to the lack of fresh water on the islands.
Fort Jefferson was a military installation that guarded the waters off the Florida Keys. During the Civil War, Union warships used the harbor to blockade Southern shipping. It was also used as a prison, mainly for Union deserters. Its most famous prisoner was Dr. Samuel Mudd who participated in the conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln.
